Live from San Diego | Coffee and Conversations Podcast with Donald E. Coleman

In this powerful special edition of Coffee and Conversations, recorded live at the ICF Global Converge 2025 Conference in San Diego, host Donald E. Coleman sits down with Dr. Akihiko Morita, board director at the ICF Thought Leadership Institute and presenter of the session Beyond the Human Coach: AI, Wisdom Traditions, and the Future of Coaching.

Together, they explore how AI is reshaping the coaching profession—not as a replacement for the human coach, but as a partner in transformation. Dr. Morita shares deep insights on relational epistemology, spiritual intelligence, and the emerging dynamic of AI–human dialogue. Drawing on both neuroscience and ancient wisdom traditions, this conversation redefines what it means to coach—and to be human—in an AI-augmented world.
